  • I can hardly remember the last time any notification was not some kind of spam or self-notification.

    I turn 99.95% of notifications off on any platform. The worst offenders are the apps that will show me a permanent in-app notification that I have turned off notification permissions… especially those that do so blocking the regular UI of the app to tell me this. Even some apps I’ve paid for do this. I condemn those to the deepest pits of app-hell.










  • Not an answer to OP; I use iCloud, but I still want my own, external backup of that and have found some good solutions.

    I previously used icloudpd which I run from docker and that synced all files to a NAS from where I took backups. It works great and I highly recommended.

    However, I recently turned on Advanced Data Protection on iCloud, which disables the API icloudpd relied upon, so now I’m using osxphotos instead. It works just as good.

    You’ll have to turn on downloading all originals to your Mac for this to work. Personally I had to buy an external disk and move the photo library on my Mac mini server to it to have enough storage.

    I did when I had a job where I had to run around and write quick notes all night! Turns out it’s faster. Same with a curved, capital E etc. Any letter you could write in one or as few strokes as possible.
